Amundi Global Equity

Amundi Global Equity Strategy seeks strong risk-adjusted returns, as the Strategy invests in companies globally where we believe the upside potential is significantly greater than the downside risk. 

Our Amundi Global Equity Strategy seeks to create a portfolio with high and diversified¹ active share, leveraging our best fundamental, bottom-up ideas. We focus on diversification¹ in terms of both absolute exposures and relative contribution to risk.

¹Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss.

With the goal of generating strong risk-adjusted returns, the Strategy invests in companies globally where we believe the upside potential is significantly greater than the downside risk. 

• We believe that:
  • Sources of market inefficiencies vary over time. The best way to capitalize on these inefficiencies and pursue attractive risk-adjusted returns is through an integrated approach that combines fundamental, bottom-up research and a top-down view of the global macrooeconomic landscape in a well-diversified portfolio.
  • Quality companies outperform. Quality companies are companies that have sustainable competitive advantages and can produce strong, unlevered returns on equity compared to their peers. Investing in attractively valued, high-quality companies can further contribute to strong risk-adjusted returns over time.
